If you're looking for By Becca's blog train with Ashton's Romance, you've come to the right place!

Ashton's Romance is a gorgeous new kit from By Becca - full of delicate elements, highly textured papers and a complete alphabet. It truly is a BEAUTIFUL kit and I urge you to check it out, along with the CT pages posted here at 9th and Bloom.

Ok, I've made you read long enough! I know you're looking for the promised freebie which can be downloaded directly here. (Please note that the paper is not included with the cluster.)

Your next stop on the blog train is at Nancy's blog. She has an amazing cluster waiting for you so hurry on over! If you get lost, head on back to Becca's blog to see the full list.

Before you go, take a quick look at my pages from three newly released kits at 9th and Bloom by Designs by Helly:

To see a world in a grain of sandAnd a heaven in a wild flower,Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,And eternityin an hour.

William BlakeAuguries of Innocence

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear

My hands are small I know
But they're not yours,
they are my own
But they're not yours,
they are my own

And I am never broken.

About Me

My name is Jenn and I'm so glad that you have taken a minute to read my blog. I'm a mom of three kids, Rebecca (13), Annie (11) and Nicholas (9). Annie and Nicholas have Type 1 diabetes which plays a big role in our family life. I also work full time as an attorney. My husband of 18 years is a stay-at-home dad, CEO of our household, chef, golfer and many other things. As you can see, I'm addicted to digital scrapping and this blog will primarily highlight my designers and my work. I do plan to include some of my family life from time to time, however.

Children Waiting for Families

Meet just a few of the millions of children worldwide waiting for someone to love them.

These children have HIV but are otherwise growing well and developing beautifully. Please click on a picture to find out more about each child. The United States now permits children with HIV to be brought into the country, and there are many resources available to help if you are interested in any of these or other thousands of orphans worldwide with HIV.

Reece's Rainbow

There are children all over the world in need of a family, love, and basic care. Many of these children have disabilities and are placed in mental institutions at the age of 4 or 5. In these places the children rarely live past the age of 10 and most die within the first year. Will you help to spread the word to raise funds and families for orphans with disabilities? Please visit Reece's Rainbow which advocates for orphans with down syndrome as well as other disabilities and see how your donation- however large or small- can help a child find a family. Look a little harder and you just might find the calling for one of them to be your own.

JDRF

The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly, and can be fatal. Until a cure is found, people with type 1 diabetes have to test their blood sugar and give themselves insulin injections multiple times or use a pump - each day, every day of their lives. And even with that intensive care, insulin is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications, which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation.
